With the warm weather right around the corner, there's no better time to start getting your springtime footwear ready, and these DIY kitty accented shoes are a great way to turn your ordinary shoes into something completely adorable.
With the cat craze continuing to take over the Internet as we speak, we're seeing a lot of fashion accessories and shoes coming out with cat-inspired designs and features, but instead of buying these expensive products at the store, you can simply make some yourself with this DIY activity. Simply find an old pair of flats, mark off the top of the shoes with tape, paint that section black and wait for it to dry. Once dry, remove the tape and then paint on the extra features such as the ears, eyes and whiskers.
Featured on the blog 'Kittenhood,' this super simple activity lets cat lovers decorate their old and out-of-date shoes with adorable feline critters.
